Providing specific feedback Family often provides some of life’s best advice through tough love and sincere feedback. Stacy and James have incorporated their love for their children into the feedback they provide. By doing this, they have created a dialogue of accountability and honesty that is also kind and loving. Family can be an inclusive term that welcomes people in regardless of their DNA. By creating expectations and goals, providing quality training and learning opportunities, and giving specific feedback and follow up, you can create your own family within Young Living. Take a moment to think about the people you can invite into your Young Living family and reach out to them today.
With nearly 200 Young Living and community members in attendance, on September 25 our Ecuador team welcomed people from across the country to their Emprende tu Negocio event. The Emprende tu Negocio event was designed to be a comprehensive community introduction to Young Living, and our management team worked diligently to ensure that attendees would have the opportunity to become familiar with Young Living and understand our mission. The daylong event showcased Young Living’s proprietary Seed to Seal® process with an agenda that included tours of the Young Living farm and distillery, lunch at the farm’s restaurant, and workshops on how to use Young Living products. Attendees also enjoyed interactive activities, allowing them to experience Young Living firsthand.
YOUNG LIVING RECOGNITION: SEPTEMBER
Reflecting on his experience at the event, Young Living Director of International Business Development Gabriel Sanchez said, “Everyone’s eyes were opened to who we are as a company. You could see that it was an enlightening experience!” We’re excited for our Ecuador team and all the momentum and growth their hard work is creating. For questions about Young Living in Ecuador,
